Musing…
Renewal is a part of the cycle of creativity, and it best fits at this juncture of the calendar year. Time pulls us forward, but we also inhabit cycles such as the return of seasons. Jean Giono says, “ Days begin and end in the dead of night. They are not shaped long, in the manner of things which lead to ends – arrow, road, man's life on earth. They are shaped round, in the manner of things eternal and stable – sun, world, God.” We invite you to consider the roundness of your creative leaning, where your endeavors lean and curve and rest on a bend that is always connected to a center where you sit with your muse.
Charise’s Turn:
Speaking of seasons, it’s winter where I am and the first snowstorm of the year has knocked our power out. There‘s the quiet of lack of electricity while the house is getting colder hour by hour. My source of warmth is at the hearth where the wood that burns is from the oak that had to be cut down last spring. What's apparent is that what had to be destroyed is now taking new life as fire and source of much needed heat. Renewal of energy. The heat allows me to write these words here; as if there is a harmony between thoughts, words, wood, flames; the natural world and human. As if? Hmmm…
Get Fired Up:
What energy is available to you toward your creativity?
How is your daily life sustenance for where you want to go in future days?
How can you pull the energy of future days, the future pull, to your day today?
